Answer : 18.22 meters
Explanation:
1 yard. = 0.9144 meters
85.4 yards = 78.08976 meters
1 minute = 60 seconds
5 minutes = 300 seconds
Speed of Anisa = distance / time
Speed of Anisa = 78.08976 meters / 300 seconds
Speed of Anisa = 0.26029 meters / second.
Distance travelled in 70 seconds = speed * 70
Distance travelled in 70 seconds = 0.26029 * 70 = 18.22 meters
Hello! I can help you with this!
4. For this problem, we have to write and solve a proportion. We would set this proportion up as 12/15 = 8/x. This is because we're looking for the length of the shadow and we know the height of the items, so we line them up horizontally and x goes with 8, because we're looking for the shadow length. Let's cross multiply the values. 15 * 8 = 120. 12 * x = 12. You get 120 = 12x. Now, we must divide each side by 12 to isolate the "x". 120/12 is 10. x = 10. There. The cardboard box casts a shadow that is 10 ft long.
5. For this question, you do the same thing. This time, you're finding the height of the tower, so you would do 1.2/0.6 = x/7. Cross multiply the values in order to get 8.4 = 0.6x. Now, divide each side by 0.6x to isolate the "x". 8.4/0.6 is 14. x = 14. There. The tower is 14 m tall.
